Description
This conference will discuss the legal issues and policy challenges in relation to sustainable finance and capital markets. Sustainable finance is increasingly not the domain of credit and development institutions. Sourcing from conventional capital markets is seen as an attractive proposition for both the supply and demand sides, as there is significant ‘dry powder’ in investment funds all over the world and sustainable finance objectives are not necessarily contradictory to objectives in relation to financial return. This project interrogates the role of market-building regulation and their likely impact. Mass marketization regulation, like securities regulation, tends to become standardised and inflexible, based on the lowest common denominator of the investor.
